Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for joining us here today.
I'll begin with Mr. Pesic.
There are around 600 different defence manufacturing service providers and suppliers in Canada, and many of them in that ecosystem are concentrated in different regions and hubs around the country. In British Columbia, my home city has Boeing and MDA Space. We have a strong aerospace and geospatial intelligence sector.
I'm curious to know your thoughts on how the government can leverage these regional strengths to build a more integrated defence industrial ecosystem.
